Journalism Public Relations

Journalism majors and minors pursue theoretical and practical communication studies in a liberal arts setting. Courses in the public relations minor include writing, media studies and public relations courses to provide students with basic skills important for careers in this rapidly growing field.

Why Consider a Journalism Public Relations Minor?

The Journalism Public Relations Minor was added to provide a focus on public relations studies not covered in the Journalism Minor, which emphasizes news/editorial. Its focus on writing, editing, analysis of information and communicating to a variety of audiences using a breadth of communication platforms is of interest to many employers in today's fast-changing economy. The Journalism Public Relations Minor is an excellent complement to majors such as business, marketing and communication studies.
